A Week of Halloween Stories - DAY 1

As part of a Halloween writing contest, and in the spirit of Halloween, I decided to write seven short children stories. Today's
is a little late, it should have come out last night. If you like my short story please let me know in the comments below. Each of these will be short, 100 words or less. It's the contest rules
and it has been fun trying to make it work. Wish me luck!

Thomas screamed, Annie ran for the street. Both shrieked the whole way home.

“Ah, well. More candy for me,” the man laughed. He removed his mask and bit into a chocolate bar. It was Mr. Smith, their favorite teacher.
